Today, the town of Primm will have its last casino hotel close on July 4 — putting 344 people out of work, according to Fox 5 Las Vegas as well as other outlets.
"In Nevada, we have a lot of old mining towns where, when the boom ended, or they had used up whatever precious metal they were looking for, everybody cleared out," Michael Green, associate professor of history at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), told Fox News Digital.
"Primm, I think, could end up being the first gambling ghost town," he said.

Any connection to Trump's frantic, violent deportations / I.C.E. operations that have even included multiple murders?
